WATCH FOR: Roadblocks and protest march by left-wing activists disrupting traffic in Buenos Aires in the week ahead

Risk analysis: On 5 December, members of left-wing activist group Polo Obrero and other social organisations set up tents and roadblocks outside the Ministry of Social Development on the 9 de Julio Avenue in Buenos Aires city centre in what they called an ‘indefinite’ protest against government reforms. The protests are likely to extend at least into the weekend of 9 and 10 December, and demonstrators also plan to participate in a march with other organisations on 13 December against proposed labour and pension reforms.
